Nothing shocking there.

I read that earlier. Made me chuckle. No doubt some kid with a degree amd mountains of debt figured that out.

Hopefully not to many move where I am, last time a Citidot moved to my area beside a farm, they were surprised that it smelled like manure LOL, I have no time for people like that.

I am staying here for about 5 - 7 years then I am selling and move further from the city and in a different direction more towards North from Ottawa not fa. I am about 50 km's from Ottawa I will go about 75 km's from Ottawa. Someplace like Almonte, maybe Renfrew.

We haven’t decided GW. Given our proximity to Durham region, the idiocy and yes people that won’t “fit in”, has come here in a huge wave this year. My initial thought was we’d have 7 years. Pretty much right on target. So, for now. We’re thinking maybe 2 years. Sell our modest house for 5 million, then likely the east coast or Panama

Cityiots/rednecks.

I wonder how many strip malls, warehouse/factories, restaurants, gyms, airport workers, Brampton has...

I've been 5 miles outside of Almonte for 25 years now and it's been perfect for me. Half hour to Ottawa, half hour to Arnprior, half hour to Perth and half hour to Smiths Falls. Prices in Carleton Place have gone bonkers, someone just listed a townhouse in a new subdivision for $565,000, just crazy. Almonte isn't as bad but the area is filling up with more than it's share of Citiots who haven't a clue about living in the country and want to change everything to the way it was in the city. True to form they call themselves Friends of Mississippi Mills when nothing could be further from the truth. Then they vote for Liberal candidates with their virtue signalling agenda. You know the crowd that clamoured for bike lanes in Almonte and the result was all the residents losing their on street parking in front of their homes. Even worse is that those bike lanes are hardly used at all, but the mayor and council can brag about how bike friendly they are. All the cyclist tour the rural roads anyway, I see them all the time, some of them think they own the road.
This area west of Ottawa is quite different from where you live, way more lakes, hilly rocky terrain and plenty of forest. Crown land starts less than a half hour away and just keeps going the more northwest you go. For example I can access 1000's of acres of crown without a road through it on the north shore of White lake in less than an hour. Hunted deer there for a long time.

The further away you get from Ottawa the lower the prices get for sure. Arnprior is far cheaper than around here and Renfrew even less. Not sure exactly what you're looking for but it depends how far away from towns you're willing to go and how much solitude you want. There's a good stretch on hwy 511 between Lanark and Calabogie that would be worth checking out as well. Here's a pic of the area, all the tan coloured is crown land. I'm like just over ten minutes from Clayton. CheersCrown land.jpg

This is a friends house in Whitby. Paid $600,000 in 2017. Sold Saturday for a little over 1 million.

Did they collect CERB?
maybe.should they have?

In other threads, there’s discussions about RN moving to the US. Working class families losing jobs. Struggling to pay bills or save. And cost of PS and the result being worse and worse healthcare, and higher taxes. “Race to the bottom” you bet your A

Youth leaving post with mountains of debt, and dim prospects. Stats also tell us, Millenials are living with parents far longer that any other generation..........

Other threads how horrible cons are,,or liberals are.

Where I am, it’s economically depressed. Nothing but retail, OPP, Trent U and a jail, thanks to the loss of manufacturing. Hit hard by 2020? Yep. Some anyways.Places here are starting to sell for 1 million.


It’s people that suck, not the politicians. They just kiss A for votes. And it’s policy, or lack of,,that’s really at the root of it all.

Cityiots/rednecks.
Polarization

CERB.
a result of the haves throwing the have nots under the bus.

Your right Smitty..I love that area you live in. My neighbour had a cottage up near Elphin (not far from Wheeler's Pancake House) a little more west of Perth . I used to go up with him every two weeks to help with the property maintenance. Its beautiful rolling hills country, I always wanted to live up that way.

And your right, everything you need in the way of City services (Hospitals etc) are only 30-45 minutes away.

That was a great Gun show they used to have in Lanark ...

Yeah hard to say right now where exactly I will go but I do want to head that way for more crown and most camping I do is even further up so it brings me closer. Will depend a small amount on the wife and where she can work. I will be partially retired. But... there is also talk of Trudeau taxing people selling their primary homes so that could put a crimp in my plans and end up staying here.
